Tyre size recommendation

Post by spako »

What's the recommended tyre size for the original 16" alloys in 2009 C5 1.6 HDI?

Currently there are 215/60/R16 tyres on the wheels.

Various web sites quote completely different sizes.

Can anyone clarify this.

Look at the sticker on the drivers door pillar, it shows the original size of tyres fitted to your particular car.

I thought the later ones had 225-60-16's though I may be wrong.

Hi Spako if you need tyres you should look at the Canadian tyre Marshall Matrix they are superb on my 2009 c5 fronts are lasting a long time and at £100 a go they are cheap. :-D
